On Friday I asked a hot little thing to go to a movie with me, and she said yes...and she is my wife. Austin-Lee and I went to a movie, Remember Me. I've seen both vampire movies with Robert Pattinson and was interested if this chick-flick was gonna prove he can only be a vampire or if he is legit. (In my opinion, turns out not to be a chick-flick at all...watch the first minute and you would agree)
He is legit.
Of course he had the same mannerisms as Edward, the vampire, but he was very funny in a sarcastic sort of way, which is enough to be a legit actor for me or at least shows potential. Most times sarcasm has no redeeming value, but sometimes it's just funny.
I won't get into the movie too much, except on a line that Tyler (Pattinson) quotes a couple times: "Everything you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." -Gandhi
This quote resonated with me, only after the best surprise ending to a movie I've ever seen.
I remember watching the Sixth Sense and that ending was not a surprise. M. Night Shyamalan films always have substantial signs that lead you to a corresponding ending...even in the Village.
"Remember Me" has one of the best endings to a film I've seen in a long time...all that I'll say is you have to go see it!
I give it a 1.5 thumbs up based of robshep's rating system (yeah I know Rob doesn't have half thumbs but you get the point):
Rob's Rating System: Two Thumbs up = I loved it, worth paying full price, and I will own it on DVD.
One Thumb up = An OK movie, worth a matinee showing, and I may buy it on DVD if I see it in the $5 bin.
Thumb to the side = Wait and rent it. I wouldn't be mad if someone gave me this DVD, but I wouldn't buy it.
Thumbs down = I hated it, wish I wouldn't have wasted money on it, wouldn't own it on DVD
Other than the "skin scenes" you complained about and a bit of language I know we both liked it. It took me a bit, but I think the ending grew on me. Glad we went to see it!
ReplyDeleteI'm taking Monica to see it on Tuesday. I'm now interested in it. Thanks for the blog shout.
ReplyDeleteRob, I know you are a film junkie, so you may not be blown away...but i guarantee you won't see it coming
